Match the jacket as closely as possible.
The jacket is a Members Only tan/beige Racer jacket. I have the jacket.
EDIT: i derped again. The Jacket is actually a London Fog jacket that looks similar: Here's the proper one.
look around on ebay or etsy for one.

I made a mask for Halloween last year.
During the Halloween season Michael's sells the mask you need. I checked out of season at my local store and they weren't selling them, but around two weeks before Halloween they appeared in the Holiday section. For best results, I would strongly recommend using black acrylic paint and not sharpie- it looks more consistent in color, is cleaner looking, and is easier to correct mistakes. Make sure to do multiple coats, because one won't cut it. Paint brushes are pretty cheap, I bought two, one big, one small (for the nose holes in particular, and other small details). All in all pretty cheap costume, and you can get everything at Michael's! Take your time with it, did mine over a period of 2-3 days to allow the paint to dry. Looks fantastic.

nobody's going to get masky and if you're under 6 foot slenderman's gonna look dumb. no other character would be recognizable
just my 2c
Even they DON'T know who Masky is, that just gives you an opportunity to introduce them to MH.
And besides, I don't get a lot of the costumes that people at my school do... Last year, a group of my friends went as Homestuck characters. Seriously, WTF is Homestuck? No one but them knew what their costumes were supposed to be.
Anyway, the actual Masky mask is just a blank mask that's been colored with sharpie, so you can probably get a blank mask at Michaels or come other craft store. The real challenge is the jacket. And don't forget the sideburns!
As for the height issue with Slenderman, you could just use stilts. You could probably even make your own makeshift stilts since you probably only have to be a foot or so taller (maybe not even that much). But how would you do the face...?

Put a stocking over your head. Bonus points if you look like a bank robber or a sexual predator.

Slendy's face generally requires a lot more effort to look "right" and it's arguable whether or not you would ever look convincing in real light and natural lighting. The most expensive (and probably most convincing) thing would be to get a zentai suit or leotard which could mask your features entirely. But those tend to be pretty expensive unless you have a great seamster who can sew one for you from scratch (I've seen it done).
This requires more trouble, but you could make a fake head to strap on top of your own and tailor/arrange the suit around that. A simple styofoam wig mount/head could be cut down/sanded to resemble something very faceless (and painted to match flesh tones), then work up a strap or other harness to keep it on top of your head. There's actually a lot of follow up work to make this look convincing, but you could definitely get something good looking out of it.

I actually considered the zentai suit thing when I was considering making a Slenderman costume, but the results that came up for "flesh colored zentai suit" on Google made me feel like a pervert. XD

Just get a pair of glasses, a chest mounted camera, and a reasonably large rock, and voila! You're now Alex Kraile!!!

I love it. I wish I could be slenderman for halloween. But I'm short and female so it's not really that easy.

I've seen slender woman before. Knee length business skirt, black tights, high heels, suit jacket and tie, and same face coverage sock thing, she also had a wig on, since we all agreed bald women look odd in business suits.
Though the short thing is against you...

Re: UPDATE
That's really freakin' good! o.o (And a bit cute) Mind sharing what you used to make the mask? Can you even see out of it?
Also, if you were still wondering where to get Masky's mask, this mask seems to be the closest to it: http://www.amazon.com/Chenille-Kraft-Plain-Plastic-Mask/dp/B0044SB54O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1346858672&sr=8-1&keywords=plain+mask (It's the one I used for Halloween last year. )
On a side note, does anyone know where I can get myself a small women's Hoody hoody? That thing is the most asinine color in history, it is! Not yellow, not tan, not manila, but some evil combination of the three.. (Also, if you've made a Hoody costume and want to share how you made the mask part, that would be grand..♥)

Mask Ok the mask was kinda hard to make but heres how i did it
i first tried 4 white panty hoes but i couldnt see anything. i thought about those white full body zenti suit but they arent cheap. after several attemps i founded a correct mask its simple just use:
2 black pantyhoes y 1 white pantyhoe. the black ones hide your face and the white one makes the no face effect .
i hope it helps any doubt just reply this.

Difficult, but cut out eyeholes in the bottom layer of hose. It will make vision 100% better.
